There's a very simple change to the reward function that fixes this: make block reward proportional to difficulty. There's a real implementation called Ergon.

As the operator of a node for over a decade, now, I do foresee a day when 1 Satoshi [i.e. 0.00000001 BTC] is no longer the smallest divisible unit... one day, perhaps beyond my lifetime, there may be mille- and eventually even nano- Satoshis.
